This summer’s rivals: The plastic bag, the plastic water bottle, and the dreaded plastic straw. This last one I cannot stand, and I give the evil eye to those who use it – I mean, we don’t drink from glass pop bottles anymore, so why do we even need straws at all, since they cause irreparable damage to our earth? The City of Vancouver banned straws, and I wish we would too. It will have to happen soon enough, so why not now? In the meantime, I started my own little mastermind plan to reach out to every restaurant I visit (which aren’t many, really) and hand out an invitation to join in to #SkipTheStraw. You must check it out, it’s on our “Raising Kids Naturally” website: www.kidsnaturally.ca/StrawsSuck My point is, it’s already mid-year and you have to ask yourself: What have I accomplished already this year, and what can I take on now to make a difference? We all have our battles to fight, and although the plastic straw may be a small one for me, I too have larger personal demons to argue with... but picking your battles is definitely the way to accomplish getting anything done. For our Good Living Show this year we chose September 7th as the special date, because by then all the kids will have gone back to school, many cottages will be closed, and because it’s such a beautiful time of year. Be sure to save the date and join us for what will be another great show! Enjoy this summer and keep on writing to me, send me your gardening photos, and do your part to join in our community’s efforts... Make a difference! www.ipao.ca Suzanne Soto-Davies Founder & Publisher, Silver and Gold Magazine [email protected] Silver & Gold Magazine ~ SUMMER 2018 5
